Copy link

Using validator.w3.org text-input to validate this HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="">
<title>Test</title>
<button><a>hello</a></button>

Returns Error: The element a must not appear as a descendant of the button element.

But I expected not to receive any error.

The spec says <button> content allowed is:
Phrasing content, but there must be no interactive content descendant and no descendant with the tabindex attribute specified.

Then within interactive content, <a> is interactive when the href attribute is present.

So I was expecting this HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="">
<title>Test</title>
<button><a href=/link>hello</a></button>

To return an error mentioning the href attribute the same as other interactive elements with attribute conditions.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="">
<title>Test</title>
<button><video controls>hello</video></button>
